What This Recall Means

Component

SEATS

What Happened
Your vehicle may have a problem with the front seat frame and backrest adjuster, which could be loose because of improper welding.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a rear-end crash, the backrest could break, which might reduce the protection of the airbags and increase the risk of injury to you and your passengers.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Volkswagen will contact you and fix your seat for free. A dealer will inspect your seat and replace the seatback frame if it's not properly welded, all at no cost to you.
